Ok... after listening to the talkingreef podcast regarding dosing kalk I realized I really should be doing this. I am currently dosing the Randy Holmes-Farley 2 part including mag. additive. I was under the assumption that was all I needed until listening to that broadcast
I need a way to accomplish this in a large system, I have appx. 230 gallons total and evaporate about 3/4 of a gallon this time of year. Currently I have a 32 gallon brute barrel that my ro/di unit goes into (no float switch) in which I have a pump connected to a hose. Every night I top off the sump by simply sticking the hose into the sump and fill to my desired level. The way it was explained in the podcast was to just add kalkwasser to the topoff water but I am constantly adding water to that brute barrel and the level is constantly changing depending on how lazy I am keeping the barrel full.
Any suggestions for doing this? I want to keep things as simple as possible also
